f4PIAIT OF TUE. PUBLIC JOURNALS. We insert a letter from Mr. Bowring, on the sub ject of - his trausactionss in the Greek loans. This we do most reztdily; and we must alSo add, that it would have given us greater pleasure to have inserted a better letter., Indeed, we must confess Cud we are grieved at the manner in which the charges still bear with un abated weight upon every one of the persons origin ally presented to notice : but above all, \SC (10 most sincerely pity Greece.' Poor Greece! Little cause had she to expect such treatment from England. We, are perfectly surprised, and are obliged, howt'ver paii - fully, to express even a stronger feeling than that of Surprtse, on perceiving that. Mr. 1 owring should still speak of 4 , an advance of 5,00 Q. made to him ;" pre tending still that he haul not sold the 25,0001. stock, when our paper of Monday contained his correspond ence with the Deputies, setting this matter at rest for ever, which we now re-inst:lt (From the Tinter of Monday.—Extract of Mr. Luriottis's leiter.)

'To Thr, EntToa.—sie.....Before 1 answer in detail the various letters which bear the signature of Mr. Luriottis, —none of which, I am sure, were written by him—allow me to endeavour to remove the ithpreasions conveyed by your leading article of the 28th ule. That article states, that I had originally 25,0001. Greek Stock assigned to me at the price of 59-.-that when the stock fell; t made vehe anent remonstrances „ and indu ce d th e Deputies to relieve me by buying it at 10 pet cent. discount ; that not satis lied with losing nothing, I applied, when the stock rose to a premitirn, to italic it retkiroed,—,that the Deputies would ! tett, return it,,but paid e e re nnpcnaatiou, and OW they were the more surprised at my tollthiet, tts had got 11:,000/. for my share of the comini,ision on the first loan. I called these etetentents a " tissue of misrepre sentations;" and i,now. repent, that not one of those state ments is an honest clecr.il of the facts. Of the, first Greek Loan a very large portion was subscribed for through my individual exertions; the documents for raising it, were for ez longtime in my hands,—no one has hitherto complained of the terms on which it was obtaitted,and both the creek Government and the Greek Deputies, were loud in their protestations of gratitude, and repeated again and again, that the services l had rendered to their country on that *cession were such as they could never repay. No man has hitherto ventured to say that I sacrificed the interests of Greece for my individual benefit, or to assert that a lean could have been obtained on better terms, or at a less cost, through the instrumentality of others. The first loan, when a tiiousund difficulties were to be surmounted, was negociated at 59, the second tit only 55k. Had it beets my object to ingratiate myself with the Greek Depu ties, at the expence of my; convictions, I should have ad- Vocitted their having a direct power over the funds of the loans. They were most desirous of this, and' constantly struggling against that .salutary controul which the contract provided for, No disposal of the money or the bonds of the hum. could lake place without the concurring: sanction of Mr. Hume, Mr. Ellice, and Mr. !Animate If any thing improper were done in my favour, 111 r. Luriuttis should have added that these gentlemen were parties to it. Triendly dial generous sentiments they may have felt towards me; but will it be believed that such sentiments led to a dereliction of duty, when they had, and could intve, no personal interest tit the matter i The favour (lone me was right or wrong —if right, is ; it not most un just that Mr:Lorlottis, who represents himself at one of the doers of that favour, should make it a matter of erimi natory n=l4lloll against me e--. 4 wrong, why was Mr. Lnriottis a party to it ? But it is not true, Sir, that the suited! 25,0001. was originally, assigned to me. I held a much larger sum, and field it at the instance of Mr. Orlando, who constantly ,urged me not to, sell, when I might have done so at a Profit, or at a trifling loss, and who complained bitterly -that no larger sum than 10,0001. was apportioned to him self. For that 10,0001., on Which he never paid the in stalments, I became 'his security to Messrs. Loughnan. When 1 Nytut oluell inconvenienced by the amount of stock 1 held, I applied to the Deputies, and to the gentlemen I have nentekl, entreating an admire Ibr two months of 4,000/. cos 2:),000/, bonds, on which "4500/. had been paid by me i so that the assertion that I was not satisfied with losing' nothing, is purely gratuitous and unwarrant able. I :will sive the eorrespendence ' and explain the .facts as they ()marred, wh en 1 reply to Mr. Luriotti's let ter. tam now only showing the unfairness of your lead ing article. I did not apply for the bonds ‘f when the. premium, het when it was from 7to 9' stock was at a diecount. I paid back the 5,0001; interest. The' bonds were restored to me, though you, *tate the, contrary, 'and it is wholly untrue that I received 2,5001. in lie u: o r t h e bonds. That j was interested with;Mesere. Loughnan, Son, and O'Brien, in the commission on the'first lean, a fact which I. have never denied , and of which,l have no reason to be ashamed. It is for those gentleme n to say, whether the assistance and co-operation I was enabled to , render them were Overpaid by that part of vs tl , lt;:t k n i ziiss tt iz which they saw fit to sacrifice ; but thnse .s Ist, will bear thing of my Manner of life for many yete • ,teitutiony that any labours and anxietiesPon behalf of :Greece have not been few nor small.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant, JOHN BOWRING. 1 brave " J ust seen the new charge of Mr. Luriottis, that I c aa bribed by Messrs. Itlcardo to forbear from bearing the set;ond loan by doutel'r of a for hundreds of pounds. It is an audaclout and impudent calumny. even Mr. Lu riottis dares not assert it ; but wraps up the slander in a very intelligible inuendo. I will dispose of it unanswer ably in its turn. hire-ries-square, Nov. 1. The term " Patriot" used formerly to signify a per- son who hono preferred, the advantage, ut ? repu . tation of his country private interests.— The derivation of tin word implies a love of country that absortv; all other considerations. Great examples fan time to time brought the name into the highest estimation, and men who were actuated by a sound and generous ambition, thought it the greatest reward of their disinterested labours in the service of the pub lic to deserve and obtain it. It was reserved for the " improving spirit" of modern times to bring this ho nourable name into suspicion and disrepute. It is fast becoming a bye-word—a taunt—a title of deri sion--. 4 compendious term or scorn, meaning some thing like what the words "political hypocrite" im ply, but with a more forcible brevity. Mow has this happened ? Look to the recorded acts of modern patriotism, and you will find the question answered. When the public see a fair tiathe long associated with divreditable actions, they, learn to hate the name it self, and be hated the more in proportion to the d;sAppointment which the false assumption of it I p;oduced. The term " stock-jobber" is certainly a name not in 4 good odour with the world—but an open and avowed, stock-jobber is not so odious as one who is found to have taken on himself the name of "pa triot„ for the more effectud pursuit of his gambling transactions. Such a person not only defrauds the public, but he confounds the very distinctions of vice and virtue ; he fatally connects the ideas of freedom and devotedness to her cause with the worst specula tions of sordid corruption—he teaches men not to hear the one mentioned without fearing the intentions of the other. To such a patriot, his country, or latria, is a 1.-ambling-table—and fine sentiments ; and ofty words—the cards or dice with which he plays. What difference is there between the man who plun ders the public by bits of papers marked with red and black spots, and he who plunders by other bits 9f paper bearing the ominous name of patriotic '" scrip ?" A. great deal—the former, if we may use the solecism, is an honest thief—the latter, a double knave ; the one makes you lament your own folly, the other de stroys your confidence in human nature.—Morning Herald. We received a letter from a Landholder, who states, that he succeeded his father in 1796 ; that of his farms,, the rents of some have, since that time, been more than doubled, of others considerably increased ; but that, notwithstanding, he is unable to live in the in which his father lived. But, with all defer ence to our Correspondent, this is not a fair way of looking at the situation of the Landholder. If he cannot live in the stile, in which his father lived, though his rents have been doubled, in what stile must an annuitant live, whose income during that - period has never changed , ? A Landholder has no right to shake himself free o the burdens which presS on the nation, and the effect of which, with regard to a country, has been compared to a diminution of its fertility and de terioration of its climate. A Landholder may be much worse off than he was thirty years .before, through the operation of Imrdens, and yet a gainer compared with the other classes, through the increased value of land.—Atorning Chronicle. UM E lA. I 1' AU 1,..1 AM ENT. ---- Vesterday the Lords and Commons assembled pro forma. At half past three o'clock the Lord Chancellor entered the Ilouse of Lords, and took his seat on the Woolsack. Ile was accompanied by Lord Stowell (his Lordship's brother) and Lord Dudley and Ward. The attendance on the part of the Lower House was uncommonly scanty. The LORD CI-um:mon then said— " My Lords and Gentlemen of the Ilouse of Commons, " lbs Majesty bath boot pleased to cause a writ to be issued under the Greet Seal, for further proroguing the present. Parliament, which you will now beer read." The Deputy Clerk of the Crown Office having handed the writ to E. G. Walmesley, Esq., their Lordships' Clerk of the Journals, that gentleman proceeded to read it. The writ was signed on the Ist September. It set forth the adjournments, &c., and added—" It is our will, further to prorogue our said Parliament from this 9.d November, till Tuesday, Nov. 14," &c. ; then to be present "to treat, do, act, and 'conclude upon those things which in our Par liament, by the Common Council of 'our kingdom (by God's assistance) shall happen to be ordained." The Lord Chancpllor then retired. At the side bar, allotted to strangers, there were about a dozen persons present; and between the red curtains inclosing a part of the Usher of the Black Rod (Sir T. Tyrwhitt's) box, there were some ladies. LAW INTELTAGEN VAX-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 2. nth ROYAL STANNARY, OR BRITISH MINING AS, SOCIATION COMPANY. BLAIN V. A( * A, A/ 4D OTllltitS. Mr. iiART appeared for the defendants, to support the demurrer.—The bill was filed by a 'great number of per sons, on behalf of themselves, and all other subscribers to this Association, against the defendants, as Directors of the Company, railing upon them to account for the money received by them, and to set forth all scrip receipts in their possession; that the Court would order an account to be taken as against them, of all the monies they had received, and that they might pay back the deposits, with 5 per cent. interest. in the early part of last year, a prospectus was issued, and advertisements put into the newspapers, stating that this Association was about to be formed, for the purpose of purchasing and working Mines in Cornwall and Wales, with a capital of 500,0001, in 10,000 shares at 50/. each,and offering those shares to the public,upon which a deposit of 51. a share was to he paid into the banking house of Sir John Perring and Co. About 6,000 of the shares only have been sold, upon which the 5/,deposit had been paid, and another call for a furthers um of 21. per share had been made on those 6,0 00 shareholders; part of whom objected to the cull, refused to pay the 21., and hence the upsetting of the whole concern, Mr. Hart con sidered this, purely a partnership suit; it was a bill filed, by partners in a joiet concern against their co-partners; he Wad rather in the dark as to how the gentlemen on the other side meant to treat the equity on the face of the bill; if, however, they meant to call for the return of the depo air*, on the ground of those deposits having been paid on condition of something prospectively to be done which had riot been d one , t h e ile:mai had - nothing to do but to bring their action at common law. Again, if the igiiinelits to them of the shares of others, he (Mr. 11.) llisiain6ff:.l:ttee:dd:d sustain their right, on the ground of would that that deed of assignment was nothing more than chart -met • ship, 1 , 0 „ Q xy, end that partners, in any partner might p u t or Power to sell their interests; they end the partnership, but selling their, shares was ou t, „r th t° The grounds of demurrer, therefore, w ere , f i ll ! 'tue*tion. ing been mod by iti rv t l i tl i :/ant of parties, the bill not hav were not sufficient, ilia! bare boilers; and next, if this' plaintiffs, attempting , e, deed of assignment to the " 'loth* them with the power of euirs nit obreloutnlAfuot) followed civoesn the ztt i ttar:s . 11 • filed by persons holding 1690 dm eg till was re*, eaving about 40f10 shares unrepresented. The Company had never been as sociated or embodied by any Charter or Act of Parlianaenti therefore it was illegal as a public Comitany, and could only be vieived and dealt with as a partnetship, if the plaintitta had anv`right in a Court tif Law at all, In ad dition - td Mr. Itart's points, Mr. T. submitted that this. deed of assignment could not Pe allowed to stand; . or par ties act under it, public policy; because, jf it were to stand,. shareholders m any Company might assign over their sharea to a beggar, and who might afterwards inconvenience and harass Directors to almost any vexatious extent. He cited the eases of Beaumont v. Meredith, Hartley v. Russell, and Kinder v. Taylor. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL supported the bill, which he said was framed on the principle laid down in Colt v. Woolerston, !.),d.Pele Williams, page 153, which was, that if A, for instance, bad been so imposed upon by B, in pur chasing of B. a share in a public Company, in which others had been misled, if the case was of such a description that an action at law could be maintained, so the money could be recovered back by a suit in equity. hi the present case both the gentlemen on the other side had tacitly admitted . that enaction could be maintained, and therefore all they had argued [about ehampetry, want of parties, multifariousness, public policy, and so on, would have to be considered worth just as much as the tin that had been raised out of the Cornwall mines by this assumed Association, which never amounted to one atom—or the oil that h a d been extracted by the patent out of the radishes from the fens of Lin colnshire, but which had never been sown until this day— vide OA v. Woollerston. Upon the facts stated in this bill, there could be no doubt that the Directors had got into their hands the monies of the plaintiffs, under such circumstances, as to make the thing altogether a fraud. The Association was decidedly a bubble. The prospectus held out that there were to be 10,000 shares sold, but from what ,cause or other, the directors were charged with having withheld nearly 4,000 shares from the public, although it was alleged that many more applications had been made for. shares than the 10,000 could have supplied. It was admitted by the defendants that the directors had kept 10() shares each for themselves; that 4,7004 had been paid by them for the purchase of 1,000 shares, and that 2,500/. had been paid by them to the Projector of the Association, though it did not ap pear who that projector was. The question here was, not whether the plaintiffs were entitled to sue on behalf of all the shareholders, but whether they had not a right to sue individually for themselves If they had, which the Learned Counsel submitted they had, then it was smatter of indifference whether the objections made by the Gentle men on the other side to the deed of assignment, applied to it or not, but which he contended did not apply. Mr. KNIGHT considered 'the law applying to public companies extremely defective; so much so, that let the nefariousness of some of them be what it might, a notion had gone abroad that 'individuals could have no remedy against them. As to the want of parties to this bill, the plaintiffs had sworn that, they did not know, nor had ever known, the names of any other persons than those who had been brought before the Court; so that this objection Would have to fail with respect to the champetry ; the deed Only authorised the collecting of debts or amount of the shares to pay the expenses of this proceeding, and to divide them natively to those entitled. As to the next point, the payment back of money, that had been made for a conside ration that had failed, the other side having admitted the right to recover back the money at law, as they werebound to admit; shewed that they Were of opinion that the principles of Colt v. Woollerston were sufficient to authorise the de mand in this Court. ' Mr. HART replied, and His HONOUR, considering this a very important case, would take a few days to consider of it. GREEN v. BARILETT. This was a case of demurrer to a bill, filed against the' directors of a scheme, called " The Imperial Distillery Company." The V im-CttaNcitt.Loa. desired that it might come on at,once; and he would dispose of both at the same time. Mr. WAKEFIELD and Mr. JoILN EVAKs supported the demurrer. Mr. WAKEFIELD said that this case differed from the last, inasmuch as that the complaint was brought by an in dividual, and that the charge was not of having set up a bubble, but merely of misconduct against the directors.— The plaintiff, however, though be charged misconduct to have been committed, defeated the prayer of his own bill entirely, because he was compelled to admit that large ex penees had been incurred. Nov, he could not be, entitled to have the whole of his money restored, unless he could show that misconduct to have commenced before any of the expences or engagements hadbeen entered into. COURT OF KIWI'S BENCH, YVIPATMINSTAR, Nov. 2. The Court was occupied the whole day with the trial of Common Jury, causes, entirely destitute of public interest. • • (In Banco.) Mr. Justice BAYLEY, Mr. Justice lioutoYn, and Mr. Justice LITTLunat,E, this day sat in the bail Court, under . • . the authority of the recent Act of Parliament, for accele rating busineas out of Term, and proceeded on the now trial paper. MOROI:GIL OF STAFFORI).•-•.Ttlit KING v. HUGHES, This was an information in the nature of a quo warranto to try by what right the defendant tlaimed to exercise the office of Mayor of the borough of Stafford. Mr. CAMPBELL and Mr. MF.ar.wmitan undertook the the case on the part of the Crown; Mr. 0. Itussztl, Mr. .l. BAILEY, and Mr. TALFOURD for the defendant. The cause was tried before Mr. Justice Park at the last Assizes for the County of Stafford, when a verdict was taken for the defendant, with leave to move to enter a ver dict for the Crown, on the ground, that at the election the requisite constituent parts of the Corporation were not present. Mr. Justice Park, at the trial, was of opinion that the verdict should have been for the Crown ; but as a question arose in point of law, when Turncock and Knight were ousted from the office of Aldermen, they would revert b ac k or mer ge into their former office of ca pital burgesses, llie L o rdship permitted a verdict . to be re corded for the defolant. The Court, after this day hearing the arguments on both sides, declared their unanimous opinion that the election of Hughes was void, and that Turncock and Knight, having once surrendered their offices of capital burgesses, and taken upon themselves and acted in the capacity of Alder men, could not revert b ac k to t h e i r f o rmer offices, and avail themselves of their f ormer r i g h ts , and therefore the de fendant had n duly elected by not been the requisite votes. Judgment was acc or di ng l y entere d for the Crown. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, GUILDHALL, Nov. 2. JASIESON v. DRINKALD. Mr. Sergeant Vatirmart stated the case. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, the owner of a brig called run do*n Oil the Lively, of 128 ton s b ur d en , to recover the value of the said ship and he r cargo, w hi c h had been the high seas by a ship of the defendant's of superior bur den (upwards of 300 tons), called the Miranda.

Mr. Sergeant VAtJQUAN said, that the verdict must be for the plaintiff, if the witnesses he had called were to be believed. The LORD CHIRP JOS TI c E summed up, leaving it to the jury to decide whether they believed the damage had arisen from negligence or accident. The jury returned averdlet for the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—The Lont. MAyon expresgerl bis gi a- ifieation at the circumstance of having received a number of plications for teachers of the continental languages, from; amongst the Spanish and Italian Refugees. One was from the Town Clerk of Cambridge, who liberally offered to defray the expenses of any Refugee of education who might be sent down, as compe tent to teach the Spanish language to the students of that Uni versity. Similar proposals were liberally made from other quar ters; but his Lordship was glad to avail himself of this oppor tunity. to state, that Mr. Waterhouse, the coach-proprietor, had handsomely renewed his offer' to take down carriage free any of the Refugees, to any part near which his coaches traversed. His Lordship expressed himself now, as he always had been, extremely solicitous to obtain relief for these unfortunate gentlemen, rather by any kind of employment than by means of pecuniary advances, which, however liberal, could only be temporary. The Refugees generally showed a laudable desire to live by their labour, rather than the latter mode; but they had no alternative. A lady, named Free, who had come up from the country to try her fortune in the Lottery, came to complain to the Lord Mayor, that she bad been deprived of her property, the sixteenth share of a 80,0001. prize, by the misconduct of those engaged in con ducting the drawing. She stated, that she chose the ticket No. 1792'. The LORD MATOR.—YOU had some particular reason, then, for selecting that number. The complainant replied, it was true, she bad ; she wished to have a ticket with the number of the year in which she was born, and she was sitting in the Hall where the lottery was draWn, and heard her number distinctly cried out as one of the 30,0004 prizes, and with her own eyes she distinctly saw the officer stamp it. Nevertheless, anothet ticket had been returned as the prize. The LOAD MAyou, doubted, from the manner in which the _ • tickets were well known to be drawn, whether the complainant's anxiety had not made her mistake a similar number for her own. The complainant—Oh no, my Lord ; it is impossible that I can be mistaken, though other people say I am. I shall.not give up my claim on the word of Lottery-office clerks. If there's any mistake, it is on their part; I trust to my own senses. The Loan MAYOR observed, that there were scarcely any trust. ing even to the senses on such occasions ; and asked her whether she did not almost feel the money in her pockets at the same time she fancied she heard her number announced. The complainant assured his Lordship, that she heard the an nouncemeat as calmly as could be expected, and that she by no means fainted away. She certainly made sure of having the pro perty; she sat in the hall, and went out when the other expect- ants came away. Mr. Cope, the Marshal, who stated that be was in attendance officially at the drawing, to keep the peace, declared that he heard all the fortunate numbers announced, and he was sorry to be com pelled to state bis conviction that this belonging to the lady was not one of them. eei T ve l d ie l l ie .o rs a e n lf.

The father of the lad came to him on Mon "c'hoall‘.rfigirieullilafgeehreeislia'sluetaltegatitir,l, named Ann Randall, and a boy, who was Mon day morning, to say that his son told him that a man was in the habit of visiting . his fellow-servant, Ann Randall, and he had nightsa days e s welllea.e e as eaccount,the man together underreason histo l)el i master'sbelieve r thatee roof. they A p e a e s e s r ed dieg to the made himself quite at home in the house of Mr. Hughes, sleeping in bit best bed, and coming down every morning in his slippe rs, to a sumptuous breakfast, provided by the careful Ann. Mr. Hughes, having heard of these goings on, determined, like the master in " High Life below Stairs," to surprise the parties who took such unwarrantable liberties with his bed and board, and with this view he repaired to Hampstead on the evening of Sunday last. and succeeded in surprising together the unsuspecting Ann mid her amorous swain, the prisoner, both of whom he gave in charge to a constable. Mr. Hughes added, that he believed he had lost nothing from his house, except whatever extra provisions had fallen to the prisoner's share ; but, knowing that gentlemen's houses were frequently robbed in consequence of the introduction of strangers by servants, he felt it his duty to give charge of the prisoner, who, to aggravate his guilt, was a married man, and bad btree children, although he represented himself to the girl as a achelor. ' Mr. Harts desired the defendant to account for his conduct in thus intruding himself in the house of a gentleman without his knowledge or desire. The prisoner, who stood with the most sanctified awl peni tential air while the charge against him was repeated, bowed low, as if to acknowledge the impropriety of his conduct, and merely said, in a half-suppressed voice, preceded by a sort of a smothered sigh—" lam really very sorry—it is an awkward business." Mr. HALLS observed, that if anything were lost, or missing from the house of Mr. Hughes, he Might haVe found himself in a still more awkward predicament. - As it appeared, however, that he obtained admission to the house by invitation• of the girl, he might go about his business ; and as he seemed to feel. his dis graceful situation, and to be sorry for his immoral and improper conduct, he (Mr. Halls) hoped he would return at once to his wife an family. The defendant, bowing to the ground, from which he had scarcely raised his eyes during the examination, thanked the Ma; gistratv and Mr. Hughes for their leniency, and drawing another deep sigh in token of his sorrow and contrition, he was suffered to retire.

The woman, on the contrary, was all life and volubility. She complained loudly and indignantly, interrupted by an occasional hiccup, that a per son direr respectability,should be so treated, white her husband, who had taken just a quantum suffiieit of the generous juice, seemed to be in perfect good humour with all mankind, observing that " the stuff was proper good," that he drank three bottles, and could have finished a dozen, and only he felt " confounded dry," he would be " all right for another bout." .Froin the answer of this man and his wife, who were examined separately, it appeared, Sufficiently cleat' that the two male pri soners had merely been, employed by more knowing thieves, to convey the wine from the lilacs where it had been stolen; and they were accordingly remanded until some inquiry should be made that might lead to the detietion of those who were most im mediately concerned in the.rohbery, One of the fellows that stand at Temple-bar for the purpose of thrusting filthy hills into the hands of passengers was held to hail for assaulting a gentleman, who merely pushed away the fellow's dirty hand, in which' he held a bill of a certain " Doctor Hoff man,ceolfepNleoi.e9ed, G tha rm t t , Surrey-street, Blaekfrig"."

After stopping a short time with lodgings, in Creecent-stre • in the parlour, she had occasion to go to another part the prisoner . Wm alone in the of the house; leaving i . parlour ; but when she re. turned, elle found that the prisoner had taken his departure, and t h e vr eioner, Who that with him had departed her gold watch. She saw nothing of she once until one night, ab ou t a week ago, t ni h a e r P : l te n t e lti r m a r i aTeidentallys in the Regent's quadrant, when she immediately seized him by the collar, and giving him into the cus tody of a watchman, had him taken to St. James's watch-house, w h er e he was searched, but no property of a sumpicious nature found upon him. Mr. Roe asked the prisoner where he resided? He replied, that be lived at No. 7, ilrunswiek-terrace, City-road. Mr. Roe gave directions that a search-warrant should be inn. mediateip issued, and executed at the prisoner . * residence, but when the seare.h.4arrant was drawn up, and Avis the officer about to execute it, the prisoner told him he might save himself the trouble of going so far, as be had never lived at Brunswick-terrace in his life. The Magistrate then asked where be really did reside? The prisoner said, he should decline answering. At this time a genteel-looking young woman came to the of fice, and said, that she wished to see the prisoner, who was her husband. Mr. Roe had her shown into the Magistrate's private room; before allowing her to see the prisoner, and asked her where her husband and herself resided. She at first replied that she should not tell, as they wished to keep their residence a secret. Mr. ROE said it was of no consequence, as her husband had already told. She then said, that as her husband had told she might as well telVand gave as their residence, " Elm-pleee, Bayswater." Avis was then despatched along with her to search this place; but returned without discovering any trace of the watch. The Magistrate inquired if any communication had taken place between the prisoner and his wife, or any other person, sines his apprehension on this charge. The watchhouse-keeper of St. James's parish said, that on the night the prisoner was brought to the watchhouse, a map who occasionally acts as a supernumerary watchman contrived, un known to any other person, to supply the prisoner with pen, ink, and paper, and privately conveyed a letter from the prisoner to hii wife. Mr. Roe expressed much indignation stanch conduct, and said that nothing could be more scandalously improper than the negli. gence of the watchbouee authorities, which allowed of such a prong where a prisoner was charged with a felony. There was, however, sufficient in the evidence to warrant the full com mittal of the prisoner. He was committed accordingly. One of the officers of the Meadieity Society , said, th a t the prisoner was well known at their office, as a writer of begging letters to noblemen and others, from whom be hai for year s p ast received to the amount of some , thousands in thatlesic he had been in custody, and imprisoned upon such -charges, and there were others pending against him new. tbe M Mr. Roe ordered that the prisoner should aga in be brou endicitYght to the office on Thursday next, to meet any charge Society might have against him.

The Captain 'received such serious injury at the time of the outrage, that he was prevented from attending until yesterday, in consequence of illness. Shepherd, a watchman, stated , that on the nig ht in questi:' he observed the complainant walking on the foot-path An It ler-street, and in a few moments afterwards, saw three low him, one of whom, (the prisoner) run towards the coollt„."""; ant and gave hind a blow that knocked him from the pserin into the road, where he lay insensible ; the prisoner then SW F," down as if with the intention of rifling the pockets of C*P teni Davidson, when witness immediately proceeded to the spot' .
